Postdoc/Group Leader Position

offered by the Department of Interface Science at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max
Planck Society in Berlin, Germany.

Description
Our research focusses on the understanding of novel physico-chemical properties of nanostructured
materials at gas/liquid/solid interfaces. Therefore, we offer a full-time postdoctoral
researcher to work on the investigation of liquid/solid interfaces under electrical
potential control using advanced Cs-corrected (S)TEM-EDX instruments equipped with an
in situ liquid electrochemical holder.

The Postdoc position is limited to 2 years but can be transformed into permanent group
leader position upon appropriate performance after this period. Mentoring responsibilities
of students are also already expected from the beginning of the position.

Requirements
Required qualifications include a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering
or a closely related discipline. Applicants should have proven experience in TEM measurements
for the analysis of nanostructured materials and be able to develop an independent
research program. A high level of capability and understanding in the operation of advanced
TEM equipment and data analysis is essential. Additional experience in in situ (liquid) TEM
measurements, maintenance of such instruments as well as electrochemistry would also
be advantageous.

The scientific output and the ability to lead a research group will be evaluated after the
2-year period and if the performance is satisfactory, the selected candidate will become a
permanent group leader in charge of all TEM projects within the department as well as the
related external collaborations.
